Upon examination of recently collected epipsocid barklice from natural areas of Colombia, five new species of Neurostigma Enderlein, 1900 were found: N. lienhardi sp. nov., N. mockfordi sp. nov., N. newi sp. nov., N. thorntoni sp. nov., and N. valderramae sp. nov. They are here described and illustrated. A cladistic analysis of 32 morphological characters indicates that Neurostigma is monophyletic. An updated key for the identification of males of the described species of the genus is presented.

“…Specimens of unambiguously identified morphs were dissected in 80 % ethanol, and their parts (head, right legs and wings, and genitals), were mounted in Canada balsam, following standard procedures. For the identification, the pertinent available literature was utilized (New & Thornton, 1975;New, 1980;Thornton, 1981;Smithers, 1990;García Aldrete, 1996, 1998, 2000, 2005, 2010García Aldrete, González, Carrejo, Mendivil & Calderón, 2013;González, Saldaña & García Aldrete, 2013;Silva Neto, Rafael & García Aldrete, 2014). The specimens are deposited in the Entomological Museum, Universidad del Valle (MUSENUV), Santiago de Cali, Colombia.…”

Introduction: The knowledge on the diversity of psocids in Colombia has increased, following the global trend, but the main interest of most of the studies has been oriented to solve taxonomic aspects, leaving aside other biological aspects, of which little is known, such as the ecological interactions of these organisms in tropical forests. Objective: To describe the psocid diversity in two Colombian Amazonian localities and provide the first data on their vertical distribution in tropical forests. Methods: Monthly samplings of Psocoptera were conducted during new moon periods, from July 2014 to May 2015. Surveys were carried out in two localities of the Putumayo department, Colombia (Puerto Asís and Mocoa), using LED light traps. Results: During the sampling period, 152 species, in 23 genera and nine families were collected. The richest family was Psocidae, followed by Epipsocidae and Lachesillidae. More than 80 % of the species found are still undescribed, and among the described ones, nine represent new records for Colombia, and are shared with neighboring countries in the Amazon basin. Fourteen (9.2 %) species are shared by the two localities surveyed. Puerto Asís is considerably richer than Mocoa. Vertical stratification of Psocoptera was found in both localities, with the canopy being the most species rich stratum. Conclusion: The relatively high diversity of psocidos found, as well as the high number of new species, is an indicator of the need to continue the exploration of these organisms in the rest of the Colombian territory and Andean countries, especially in the Amazon foothills. Stratification of the studied psocoptera community was evident, with the canopy stratum being the richest in species, a trend that continues throughout the year.

“…So far, the genus is known only from the type locality. A cladistic analysis of the Epipsocetae (Casasola González, in progress), places this genus as sister group of Terryerwinia gen. n. described below, with Epipsocus argutus New (1980) from Reserva Ducke, Amazonas, Brazil, as sister group to that pair of genera.…”
